#85 - Pickwick Theater

12" x 24" Oil on gessobord

This was a Christmas gift for my son who lives right next door to this Art Deco gem.

#84 - Family Farm

Oil on canvas 48" x 36"
Sold

This painting has been keeping me busy for a couple months. I've posted smaller iterations of this scene which led up to this bigger painting. I have never painted such a big painting and actually really enjoyed dealing with each section in detail. I have the online mentoring of Kim Casebeer to thank for any success I might have had.

#83 - Harvest Time

8" x 10" Oil on canvas panel

It is harvest time in Illinois and farmers are getting their crops in. It was a beautiful day so I parked next to a cornfield and captured it during harvest.

#82 - Country Lane

18" x 24" Oil on canvas

I've been working on this scene for a while. I painted it 8" x 10" first and then the above. I'm now doing it 36" x 48". It has been a good exercise doing the same painting three times and at a different scale.

#81 - Crossroads

8" x 10" Oil on canvas panel, Plein Air
Sold

I was out looking for a painting recently and came across this scene. I was drawn to the shadow across the road, and the choice to make, left or right.

#80 - Country Copse

8" x 10" Oil on canvas panel, Plein Air

I had limited time to paint so I stepped out on our deck and painted a copse of tress across our wetlands. I love this time of year, but we keep losing our dog back there in the 4' grasses.

#79 - Sister Bay

8" x 10" Oil on canvas, Plein Air

Another painting from Door County last week. This was at the Quick Paint at the end of the Plein Air Festival. I like the stakes in the foreground and their shadows on the sand.
